“As for Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, they don’t seem to trust us either, because they don’t want to let us in before the investigation, although Nord Stream 1 51% is our property, and Nord Stream 2 is entirely the property of Gazprom,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
As Lavrov noted, Sweden, by its position, probably wants to make sure that the Russian side does not find out the truth about the attacks.
“Just yesterday, a representative of the Swedish government said that, yes, we are conducting a preliminary investigation together with the Danes, the Germans, but we will not let the Russians in there, that is, they are investigating the damage caused to our property, they are keeping us aside and do not want to show anything so that, God forbid, we don’t find out the truth, probably,” he said.
At the same time, the minister stressed that there is information that American experts will participate in the process of processing the data they receive.
“Here’s double standards for you, please,” Lavrov concluded.
Earlier, the Prime Minister of the Transitional Government of Sweden, Magdalena Andersson, said that the Swedish authorities do not plan to allow Russia to investigate the explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
